God of surprises,
we come together to praise You
and to open ourselves wide to your touch.
Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, women and men of history,
named and unnamed, known and unknown,
we drink deep of the wisdom and fidelity of the past,
the faith of our foremothers and forefathers
who showed us how to live what we believe.
When driven to doubt, when close to despair,
may we still believe in miracles and witness courageously
to what might be, in Jesus the Christ. Amen.
Opening Prayer from, Pentecost: You Shall Be My Witness, by Maureen Currie, rscj Canada
